Haven't written a journal here in over 4 years but here we go. I have been thinking of coming back and being more active on this site but every time I come on here and look around it just seems like a huge mess and I feel lost. Not sure what direction DA is going in but seems they are trying to be too flashy rather than keeping things simple and organised. But at the same time it seems this site is still mostly social unlike other sites such as Redbubble that has moved away from that and focuses more on sales, which actually works as it is the only site I've ever been able to sell my work. I also tried out Instagram briefly but I hate that site as well. I don't do phone updates and using it on the PC was not user friendly. Also I found people on there are just like zombies mindlessly scrolling and liking without caring where or who took the photo. I've always had a dislike of social media platforms which is why I'm so inactive on a lot of them anyway. I've only stuck with Redbubble

First, there's your notes/chat notifications in the envelopes (notes) or text balloon (chat) icon. When you hover over it, it will load your chats and/or notes. Next, your actual notifications is shaped like a little bell, you know the one:
